HOW TO BUNDLE DYE AT HOME WITH FLOWERS | NATURAL DYE | BOTANICAL COLOUR
Bundle dyeing is one of the most fun and satisfying ways of using plant matter to transfer colour to your fiber. The results are literally pure magic and the nature of this process makes it perfect for professional projects or fun family activities.
Natural dyes are often described as “living colours” and it’s true. They have a charm and personality very unlike synthetic dyes with the much higher energetic frequency of life … and love if you’re into that kinda thing!
They are really easy to work with and non-toxic which is a big draw for a lot of people. They will never have the same permanence as synthetic dyes, they often change or vary over time, they are always dancing and they dance especially harmoniously together.
Bundle dyeing with plants can really open up your creativity. It encourages play and experimentation whilst deepening your relationship to nature and it’s alchemy.
BillyNou is about the wonderful process of natural dyeing I do for my brand, life, motherhood and the trails and errors of making and crafting.

I’d like to inspire others to become more conscientious, to find a connection with nature and benefit from this immense and totally accessible energy.

[@melvincollins5811]

I live on the Laguna Indian Reservation in NM for 14 years... There wildflower petals (along with corn pollen and prayer meal) were used to attract deer when hunting... They were sprinkled in the campfire while saying prayers to attract the deer to the hunters... The last time I went hunting and I did this, it attracted a HUGE herd of elk during the night which came right up to the tent...

[@billynou]

This is so interesting! How magical... I hope you didn’t hunt the elk 😭

[@melvincollins5811]

[@isadoretozer4366]

love this!!!!!! SO MUCH - did the vinegar serve as a mordant or additionally to mordanting? thanks xxx

[@thewhisperingweaver8252]

So beautiful, I discovered the beauty of dying with bougainvilleas this year, I was so surprised the colour they gave.

All types of silk can be used ! Any natural fiber 🥰🥰

[@prasanthadevulapalli9011]

Love your little helper. She is adorable. I was wondering if you used vinegar also for making the color say. I know that normally we start with some kind of fixing agent. Did you use that and if so, what is it?

[@billynou]

Haha yes she is the best!! Vinegar isn’t really a fixer but yes I do mordant my fibers, usually with alum or alum acetate depending if the fiber is cellulose or protein 😊

[@vriddhimehta751]

Hello, I loved your work, I wanted to know if there is any other alternative of steamer.

[@billynou]

Thank you. Do you mean if you don’t have a steamer? You can just use a pot with a lid and place a something I. The pot to keep your fiber out of the water 😊

[@nanynobreli]

Beautiful!! Btw i love your jumpsuit! Did you make it too? Can you share more details? Thanks for sharing

[@billynou]

Thank you! Yes I make them and sell them on my website billynou.com I don’t have much available at the moment but will be getting my overall making game on in the next couple of weeks 🥰

how do you take care of such beautiful fabrics to make them hold the color? should I hand wash them only? is vinegar enough to make it permanent? I love this and will try it first on cotton t-shirt and some other things if I get good at it! you are great, keep doing these, you are my newest inspiration 💛🌞

[@billynou]

Hey love... it depends on how you pre treat the fibers. You would need to mordant cotton first but could get away with no mordant on silk. Sadly vinegar isn’t a mordant... just something to spice up the colours a little. You also need to take care with the after care... using ph neutral soap and hand wash with cool water. If you want a bit more info you might like some of our E-books available in the links below the video. They explain the basics. ❤️💕🌱🌹🌼

[@tetademonja981]

Thanks for such nice videos. I wonder how do you recommend to wash them afterwards? Handwash with cold water? Thanks!!!

[@billynou]

Hey, thanks for watching! Yes hand wash gently with cool water and ph neutral detergent 😊

[@emilybwest]

Hey after you’ve steamed the bundles do you then soak them overnight in something? Just picked loads of poppies and want to give it a go ❤️

[@billynou]

No just let them chill 💗💗

[@GracieK419]

As always, love your videos :)) is it possible to bundle die something like a pre-made dress successfully? I have a 100% cotton dress that I want to bundle dye with cochineal, lockwood, indigo, and turmeric. Not certain if the dyes will release to both the front and back of the dress if i lay it on the top of the fabric like a typical bundle dye, or if it’s better to place the dyes between the two pieces of fabric in the middle of the dress so the colors soak to both sides?

[@GracieK419]

Ooo and onion skins :)

[@billynou]

Hellooo. Yes it is definitely possible to dye a pre made dress... the process is exactly the same as if it was just a piece of fabric. Because you roll the fabric when bundle dyeing you do get colours on both sides but you can always just chuck some in the middle to be safe 😉 I would definitely mordant your dress before dyeing as it’s cotton though 💗

[@GracieK419]

BillyNou thank you so much for your reply! I have some alum mordant, so I’ll be sure to do that. :)) thanks again!

[@saraboshut1164]

would you say it gives a better color with dried flowers / vegetables / herbs or with fresh ones or is there no difference? thank you for the inspiration!

[@billynou]

I would say there are always going to be unmeasurable differences resulting in varying shades and results ... it’s definitely best to experiment and see what you like best ... sometimes I prefer the results I get with dried and others with fresh and sometimes you can use fresh or dried twice and still get different results. It’s always a bit of a surprise and this is why I love it 🦄

Oh yay how nice! Yes I did mordant the cloth … with alum acetate ♥️

[@silverpromidi]

I had some really RUSTY nails around the place, I did a bit of a happy skip dance when I realised how rusty they were 😃 I am going to give this method a go while the iron water brews. I was wondering if 'double strength' vinegar is ok to use, or does it need to be 'normal strength'? That E-book is so far amazing - I am up to about page 5 I think. Thank you for putting this together. New subbie from Aus.

[@billynou]

Hey Kerry. I’m glad you’re dancing about rusty nails 😆 I don’t see why strong vinegar wouldn’t work ... just a little bit less maybe 😊

[@silverpromidi]

[@melissagrady1723]

Was the fabric scoured and mordanted first or did you just use vinegar? Do you also have any videos or information on how you clean the fabrics? I've read that I need to machine wash at 90 degrees then boil in a pan with detergent and soda... would you bother

[@billynou]

Hey 😊 yes the fabric has been scoured and mordanted. Depending what fiber you’re using depends on how to pretreat it... sometimes I don’t mordant silk for example. I have a few ebooks available bellow the video or from my website with a bit more info if you’re interested. ❤️

[@oliviab6016]

what about when you need to wash them? I have been looking to see what to do to maintain the most color

[@jessicakraus5571]

Hi there! Do you recommend using a mordant on silk before doing this? If so which mordant do you like specifically for silk?

[@billynou]

Silk works really well with no mordant but you could specifically try alum as a mordant for silk 😊

Do you need to use fresh flowers? Or can you use dried/pressed flowers ?

You can use either, flowers will often behave differently fresh or dried , some work just as well and others don’t... just experiment and you will soon figure out which ones work best for you! 🌹

[@milayunasz1057]

Hi do you know what plant / any other natural material to make black dye?

[@billynou]

Hey. Black is quite a difficult colour to achieve in the natural dye world. It tends to take a few layers of colours to get a dark colour that is often not a true black. Some dyes used are often black walnut and logwood with an iron mordant. 🖤🖤

[@Mamaonomatopoeia]

I’m wondering if soaking in vinegar and water before hand might be more useful than using a spray bottle? Have you tried this?

[@billynou]

Either works fine and I also sometimes just dunk it or pour a glug of vinegar over it after I’ve rolled it up. Totally up to you and what you prefer doing 😊

[@hedysladovich1737]

What kind of fabric are you using? Cotton, linen? Silk? Really want to try this since we are in summer and plants and blossoms are abundant. Do you fix the dyes somehow? How to wash?

[@billynou]

I’m using bamboo fiber. Try it with silk first as it takes the dyes easily without having to mordant and you won’t be disappointed with the results. I always hand wash with cool water and ph neutral soaps. I have a little ebook available too if you want a bit more written info on the process 💕💕

[@zebakhan2720]

What do you use for the pretreatment of the cloth ?

[@billynou]

This depends on the fabric but for cellulose fiber I usually use alum acetate x

[@theresemetzger3525]

Do you have to use a certain kind of fabric

[@billynou]

You can use any natural fiber but the pre treatment or mordanting process is different depending which you choose

[@denise928]

Which materials for the fabric would you recommend?

[@billynou]

Naturally dyes will only take to natural fibers ... silk is a good one to start with as it takes the colours very easily 😊

Yesterday I started dying with dragon fruit. Beautiful fushia-ish colour. Then I put salt in the boiling water. Was too busy to continue so only finished off todsy. And... the fushia turned yellow-is brown! Am leaving the cloth in the pot. You're not supposed to add salt when you boil the fruit, right? It should be added when we put the fabric? Good thing I boiled it with a firewood stove! Greetings from Subilang, Bali

[@billynou]

Wow I’ve never heard of dyeing with dragon fruit!! It sounds like maybe the ph of your water changed when you added the salt or maybe the you heated the water too hot?🤔 how did it turn out? Normally metal salts are used to mordant the fiber before dyeing 🦄🤍🌱

[@abriltrias4378]

Hiya, does the colour stay in the fabric if you wash it?

[@billynou]

Hi. It all depends on what fabric you use and how you pretreat and care for your fabrics after dyeing. The colours will never stay like synthetic dyes. They are likely to change or fade over time but this is really an opportunity to see colour and our clothes with a different perspective and to enjoy the life of the colours.

[@kinkyalien_ink]

Is it important that the flowers be dried before using them to dye cotton fabric?

[@billynou]

You can use dried or fresh... some work better fresh and some work great dried ... it’s a matter of playing and discovering what works best 😊

[@ChristineMarie-pu1bh]

Beautiful! What fabric is best??

[@billynou]

There are so many types of fabric you could use and all will have different results, each with their individual qualities .... anything natural is worth giving a go and animal fibers like wool and silk will tend to take the colours more readily 💗💗

[@ChristineMarie-pu1bh]

BillyNou thank you so much! I am working at an organic farm and we have tons of wildflowers strategically planted to deter insects instead of using pesticides. So many dead heads that will now be given new life!
